I am fortunate to be of a mindset that has not EVER allowed me to take ANY Government assistance. I have been poor, homeless and hungry. I have
never begged for change, work yes, change no. I once spent my only five dollars on a bottle of Windex and some paper towels. That turned into 75.00
a day. I once sold water along the major bike paths, no permits no nothing but an ice chest and a sign. That was good for over $50.00 a day.

My point? Take the free handouts and learn to do something to decrease your dependance on them. Why? You are going to be the first people to die
when TSHTF.

Learn to do something without relying on a handout or I will laugh as I pass you on the street while you starve. Yes that may not be very nice to say
but it is the truth. Got internet but getting food stamps, lovely

Thats horrible! I am not on Food Assistance either..but I wish I could get it! I work everyday and still dont make enough to cover everything. My
family eats 1 large meal daily. We are not living it up in the US. I do care about others, and I hope they fix the EBT problem soon.

I am a very nice person that does a lot for all those around me. I am not however very sympathetic regarding Welfare. If I were King there would be
a bright yellow bus at each and every able bodied welfare recipients home at 5:30am five days a week. I WOULD find some trash for them to pick up,
brush to clear, and if not able bodied? some damn stamps or envelopes to lick.

Food stamps and welfare without work? NOT A CHANCE! There is something you would be doing for that money, were I King......

Not everyone on food stamps is jobless. My understanding is that quite a few people on the program do have jobs, but also have a family and the
paychecks they bring home just don't stretch far enough. Now of course I think it's a VERY bad idea to have a family if you can't provide, but
I'd rather not see children go hungry because their parents are losers. Then there are those that get laid off without a decent amount in savings,
those who get injured and really are unable to work. I'd rather see some dirt bags mooch off the system than a whole bunch of people go hungry who
don't really deserve to.
